It says a lot that the most thrilling moment in a trailer filled with thrilling moments isn’t the derelict Star Destroyer (and that’s a hell of a thing) or the first look at the new Chrometroopers or the melted Vader helmet (although that’s a very close second) but an old man saying three words. All the new stuff is great, but what I really wanted to see was the old guys getting back in the game and, well, here we are. I’m literally typing through tears here. So happy.
If you haven't watched the Abrams/Kennedy video from Celebration (http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Watch_The_Force_Awakens_Panel_Live_Right_Here_163719.asp) check it out. Design, production techniques, casting – it's like every single thing they're doing in this movie is hitting a bullseye.
I'll be checking that out as soon as I can.
